Problem Background
E-nose came about from trying to mimic the sense of smell in robots or machines.
E-nose beneficial because
Not fatigued
More sensitive
Research now is focused on putting an E-nose on a mobile robot
Problem Statement
Develop signal-processing procedures to reconstruct the changes in concentration of odor mixtures through the response of a gas sensor array.
Design Objective
Create three modules
E-nose module
Diffusion module
Robot Simulator
Replace E-nose module with provided dilution system to test with real sensor responses.
